Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
The autumn series continues... it's certainly a pretty classic theme, but I like the calm atmosphere, the soft colours and the beautiful grasses with the small road leading into the fog. Simple subject, well worth hanging on the wall.

Lion Rock at Piha from the estuary. About half an hour after sunset. I used the Protomachines LED 2 to light paint the rocks with blues and purples.

The snowstorms today were epic! Captured this one rolling across the landscape. Heading towards Butterton and Elkstone.
All in all a pretty grand day out with more images to follow I'm sure :)

Spynie Palace was for 500 years the seat of the bishops of Moray. During that time, the palace stood on the edge of Spynie Loch, a sea loch with safe anchorage for fishing boats and merchant vessels. A thriving settlement developed nearby.
Today, nothing remains of either sea loch or medieval settlement. But the impressive ruin of Spynie Palace is the largest surviving medieval bishop’s house in Scotland.
This nice waterfall has been taken at the very beginning of a fine walk up the Hörschbach gorge. While the water formed some smooth veil down the break-off edge, the wood in the background gave a nice autumnal mood to the scene. Note the fantastic palette of colors through the rock layers from the top to the bottom of the edge. Thanks to Nicky for joining me at this trip.

One of my favorite photos taken this year.
I kept moving from dune to dune looking for a nice ridge pointing toward the sunset and some great ripples to catch the light. I thought I was going to be too late when I spied this dune in the distance. Luckily, I made it to the top just in time to line everything up.
White Sands is a great little park, I hope to return soon and share it with
Kay.
Emerging from the Fog - (click to view full image) - We took a couple early morning boat rides through the Bayou. The first morning we experienced heavy fog. The fog cleared around this tree just long enough for me to take a photo. The lake was hauntingly beautiful.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
The ancestral seat of the earls of Moray
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
A new stronghold
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.

One example what can be done on a frosty morning with flat light: Open your apperature and spot some of nature's details. In this case some ice-covered flowers. Maybe someone can help me out with the name of this plant?

This was the last very good eclipse within the next ten years for central Europe. Moreover, the weather forecast seemed very well. OK, it was a little bit fresh (-4°C) but nothing good clothing can't handle. After a short while my tripod, camera and lenses were covered in frost. I burned three batteries in four hours. Hot tea and a morning-snack were very helpful as well.

Not the most epic capture, but I like it.
As I was driving on a dirt road on the edge of some forest out in western Illinois, along the Iowa border. All of a sudden my phone alerted me to this incoming storm. Take Cover Immediately! The winds associated with this storm were intense, greater than 60 mph.
I saw lightning strikes in the distance and wanted to see if I could capture them. Frankly, with impending threat, I was ridiculously nervous, no time to setup my camera / tripod, I just jumped out of the car, it was not raining yet, but lightning was getting awfully close. I started doing some high speed hand held shots with my arms positioned giving myself some stability.
This particular shot is cropped, it was rather far away. Sometimes we get lucky.
